TWD: sugar-topped molasses spice cookies (aka heaven)

I adore ginger cookies. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect ginger snap. Trader Joe's used to sell little ginger snap cookies in a small tin that were fantastic. I would eat them until I was sick. I also adore the Mother's Cookies little ginger bread men that are only sold during the holidays. Whenever I would see them I would buy four or five bags just in case they were gone the next time I went to the store. Last year was a sad year since Mother's Cookies went belly up. But I've heard they were bought and I am awaiting my little ginger bread men. Now I may not need those little men to make me happy, because these cookies are so much better. They taste like heaven.

I made the dough for these cookies last Sunday and due to laziness I didn't actually bake them until Friday night. The cookie is made up of everything that is delicious - ginger, brown sugar, and molasses. While they were cooling I decided I better try one to make sure it was okay. It was. Just to be sure though I tried 3 more. I don't want Pete to have to eat anything that isn't perfect. I make a lot of sacrifices for him.

These cookies are going to be my go to for ginger deliciousness. They also make the perfect ice cream sandwich. I made the ice cream sandwich for pictures and took two or three bites. I put it in the freezer to save for later but Pete beat me to it. He did say it was very yummy.

Thanks to Pamela of Cookies with Boys for picking this winning cookie. Check out her darling blog for the recipe (it will probably be posted on November 17th). Also head over to Tuesdays with Dorie to see what all the other bakers whipped up this week. It could be cake, cookies or a crisp. All sound and look yummy.
